I rarely see demos that are that amazing. Bleeps and bloops, even in polyrhythm, ain't sh*t to my ears.

Unless you are listening to carefully multitracked and layered compositions as rendered by Tomita or Carlos or their disciples, modular synthesizers are rarely a spectator sport.

They are for hypnotizing yourself turning knobs and hearing the results. It's an immediate gratification. Since we have addictive tendencies, you start simple and then seek to increase your high by turning more things on. I'll start a drone in the background to play over, now put some rhythmic filter sweep on that, and maybe some reverb on the dripping sounds...
